We keep these booms staged at every loading dock. When a hydraulic line blew on one of our yard trucks, the crew had a containment barrier around the spill in under two minutes. Absorbency is excellent — the boom soaked up diesel and hydraulic fluid without taking on rainwater. Will absolutely reorder.

Product Overview
The Oil-Only Absorbent Boom (8" Dia. x 10' Long) is a maximum-capacity containment boom engineered for the most demanding petroleum spill response scenarios. Sold as a case of 4 booms (40 linear feet of coverage), it delivers up to 38 gallons of absorbency per case while repelling water -- the highest-capacity oil boom in our lineup.
Each boom features durable polyester mesh netting filled with high-performance polypropylene poly-blend filler that selectively targets oil, diesel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, and other hydrocarbons. Stainless steel snap-clip connectors at both ends allow linking booms into continuous barriers. The large 8-inch diameter makes this the go-to choice for open-water containment, heavy spill volumes, and fast-moving current environments.
Backed by PCI Products Company -- trusted since 1985 -- this boom meets EPA SPCC, OSHA HAZWOPER, and NPDES Stormwater compliance requirements. Ships FREE to the Continental US.

Expert Insights
With 40+ years of industrial experience, PCI Products recommends this 8" Oil-Only Absorbent Boom for heavy-duty spill response on open water, large retention ponds, marine terminals, and high-volume fuel spill containment. The 8-inch diameter delivers the highest absorbency per linear foot in our boom lineup -- ideal when maximum containment capacity is critical.
At 38 gallons per case, these booms handle nearly double the oil volume of 4-inch models. The robust construction withstands currents, waves, and extended deployment periods. Stainless steel snap-clip connectors enable fast barrier creation at any length.
Pro Tip: For tighter spaces or drain protection, pair with our 4" diameter booms. For fewer connections, upgrade to 8" x 20' booms. For aggressive chemicals, see our Hazmat/Chemical Booms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Oil Absorbent Booms, 8 In Dia. x 10 Ft Long, 4 per case
How much oil does this boom absorb?
Absorbency varies by boom diameter: 4 in. booms absorb approximately 4.88 gal. each (19.5 gal./case), 5 in. booms absorb approximately 7.5 gal. each (30 gal./case), and 8 in. booms absorb approximately 9.5 gal. each (38 gal./case). The polypropylene poly-blend filler selectively absorbs petroleum-based liquids while repelling water.
Will this boom sink when saturated with oil?
No. This boom is designed to float on water even when fully saturated with oil. The hydrophobic polypropylene filler repels water and only absorbs petroleum-based hydrocarbons, so it maintains buoyancy throughout its working life.
Can I connect multiple booms together?
Yes. Each boom features an internal nylon rope with stainless steel snap-clip connectors at both ends. You can link as many booms as needed to create a continuous containment barrier that matches the size of your spill perimeter.
What is the difference between 4 in., 5 in., and 8 in. diameter booms?
Larger diameter means more absorbency per boom. 4 in. booms (19.5 gal./case) are ideal for light to moderate spills and tight spaces. 5 in. booms (30 gal./case) handle moderate to heavy volumes. 8 in. booms (38 gal./case) deliver maximum capacity for heavy-duty and open-water applications. All sizes connect together with the same snap-clip system.
Does this product meet EPA SPCC plan requirements?
Yes. This oil-only absorbent boom supports compliance with EPA 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1) (SPCC Plans), EPA 40 CFR 122.26 (NPDES Stormwater), 33 CFR 154.1047(c)(2) (Facility Response Plans), and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 (HAZWOPER) requirements.
What types of liquids does this boom absorb?
This is an oil-only boom. It absorbs petroleum-based hydrocarbons including crude oil, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, gasoline, jet fuel, and kerosene. It does NOT absorb water or water-based liquids. For universal (oil + water) applications, see our Universal Absorbent products.
How do I dispose of used absorbent booms?
This product is incinerable and safe for incineration disposal. However, disposal must comply with your local, state, and federal regulations, including EPA 40 CFR 263.3. Used absorbent booms that have absorbed hazardous materials may require handling as hazardous waste. Always follow your facility waste management plan.
Do you offer bulk or government pricing?
Yes. Volume discounts, pallet pricing, and government POs accepted. GSA-friendly. Contact sales@absorbentsonline.com or call (800) 869-9633.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
We deploy these booms around our fuel dock and along the marina perimeter during storm season. The snap-clip connectors make it easy to chain 20+ booms into a continuous barrier. They float well even after absorbing a significant amount of oil. Great product for SPCC compliance.
-
Ordered multiple cases for our distribution centers across three states. Free shipping saved us a bundle, and they arrived within the quoted lead time. The white color is a plus — makes it dead simple to see saturation levels so the crew knows exactly when to swap booms during a response.
